Hi all
From what I understand, sess_expiration means how long of inactivity before CI clears the session. And sess_time_to_update means the period of time before CI will change the id to a new id.
However, my application requires me to store some form of identification of an anonymous user. Thus I am thinking of using the session id as an identifier in my tables. So for example when a user comes to the site, he is given an id "abcd". I then store data in my tables so that I know those records belong to him. But after X amount of time when CI updates the session id, the same session now has a new id of "efgh". Then my data becomes incorrectly related to the user.
Is there anyway that I could work around this?
